"If this is what we think it is, Toasty and Allen won't be the ones in immediate danger. They'll be fine." The bird whispered, the clicking of his dangling prosthetic ringing in the ears of Artorias.

"...Alright, fine. We'll send the boy with Allen." Artorias conceded, sitting back up. "Firepaw. You made a good point, Allen will need a fire type to accompany him for his safety."

"Wait, hold on!" The Audino shouted. "It could be too dangerous for him."

"Elizabeth. If there is any danger, the boys will be far away from it. They're only there to seek out anomalies. The Rescue Team will be the ones fighting. Toasty needs to get out there and see the world beyond just Dead Oak." Reed chirped.

"And if danger does come 'round, Allen is strong enough in his powers to ensure any threat can be neutralized." Artorias added.

"...Okay." Elizabeth said, in a low tone.

She felt the familiar nudge of her son's snout pressing under her chin, his big blue eyes staring at her. He gave a small smile, tail wagging happily.

"It'll all be fine, Mum."

(violet-purrloin) Allina@Guildmaster Reed: "A guildmaster, hm? How fascinating! Quite different from an instructor. If you don't mind me asking, what is your relationship like with your co-guildmasters around these parts? I'm quite curious.."

"We... were in a relationship... You can tell that it did not end on particularly good terms."

NEW HINT: || Reed and Artorias were a couple. What lead to them breaking up? ||

*Hope approaches, with some excitement in her eyes. She looks down at the wing made from different materials.*

Hope: That is just so awesome! It amazes me what adaptations can be made to help others! So cool! How well does it work for you? Have you had it for long? Have you had any issues with using it?

"It's supposed to imitate the motions of my old wing as well. With a flick of my shoulder, I can tuck it and then un-tuck it. Luckily there haven't been many problems yet, though the blacksmith did say that it needs to be properly cleaned and lubricated so that the 'feathers' don't get rusty and cling to one another on release."

Reed demonstrates the movement of the prosthetic, slowly twisting his shoulder to show it's range of motion.

"A shame that it is still too heavy to fly with, though... There is a kind of feeling to flight that I have deeply missed."

(@ask-pokecats) Paula approaches the Guild as she is very excitedly waves and wags her tail by seeing another Umbreon.

"Woof woof, hiiihiii!"

However, her expression became more serious as she approaches Reed.

"Auf...your wing...? What's happened? Did it broke it up."

Allen's tail wags.

"Guildmaster Reed," the Umbreon mutters.

The Pidgeot stretches out the fake wing once more, the "feathers" releasing a sound akin to metal rubbing against itself. The arcanine's ears fold back at the shrill tone, grumbling to himself.

"I don't see why you would approve of this. The terrain is not built for him." Artorias claims, rubbing his chin.

"You have not been to the South since the war, Arty. The new roads they built down there have made it far easier for Pokemon to traverse. And sending Guildmaster Elizabeth with Allen will ensure that he is kept safe and comfortable."

"Okay... And what about the season? Winter in the south has not suddenly became less cruel." Artorias argued.

"Sure, but we have the provisions for it. It will not be an issue." The Pidgeot replied, tapping his toes along the hardwood floor as he entered.
